"Privilege" is an interesting word. If I were Indian or Chinese, I would feel privileged to have been raised in one the world's greatest food cultures instead of eating spaghetti and mac 'n' cheese like an American my whole life.

Kids don't choose what their parents feed them, and that's how culture is imparted to the next generation.

I had a friend from Thailand who was an au pair in a very wealthy American family. She was genuinely sorry for them because they never ate fresh food.

That being said, junk food isn't the privilege of Americans. Even countries with a "food culture" like France eat a lot of junk food.
